Fears about an increased likelihood of a no-deal Brexit are weighing on the pound this morning, following comments by Boris Johnson that the 31st October deadline is ‘do or die, come what may’.
The euro is benefitting from this weakness, up against the pound despite poorer-than-expected economic figures out of Germany. The dollar is also up against the pound as the Federal Reserve appeared to take a less dovish stance on interest rates than had been generally expected.
